How many other 311 requests Boston residents file each month.
How this category is defined
What counts as other: A catch-all for 311 requests that don't cleanly fit any of the above categories or use city-specific service types we haven't yet mapped. If a city's 'other' count is unusually high, it usually means that city has a fine-grained service-type taxonomy we haven't fully normalized yet.
No explicit service_type mappings exist for Bostonin this category. These are catch-all entries whose service type didn’t match any declared category.
Analyst tip: No positive pattern — this is where requests land when no mapping exists for the city's service_type. Look at a city's own raw feed to see the full service_type distribution and identify which unmapped types dominate the 'other' bucket.
Source & provenance
Counts on this page are derived from Boston’s official open 311 data feed, covering January 2021 through April 11, 2026. Category assignment uses an AI-generated mapping from the city’s raw service types to a normalized cross-city category. View the underlying dataset at data.boston.gov.
